The designation was presented at the CCAA Summer Conference 2020, and the award was accepted by chamber President and CEO Kirk Mancer.
The Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama (CCAA) recently announced nine local chambers of commerce have received the Accredited Alabama Chamber of Commerce distinction (AACC), and the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce made the list.
One of the most prestigious programs of the CCAA is the Accredited Alabama Chamber program. The AACC program sets standards of excellence for chambers in the state of Alabama. It recognizes chambers that have achieved those standards while offering guidelines for those to improve their effectiveness.
The AACC program is designed to promote public awareness of the intent of the chamber of commerce brand as a not-for-profit community development-based business membership organization by providing a peer review process of generally accepted chamber of commerce organizational benchmarks.
The AACC program looks at six standard topics: organization, mission focus, professional administration, financial management, communications and advocacy.
Jeremy L. Arthur, president and CEO of the CCAA, said the nine local chambers of commerce are a true testament to the chamber profession.
